- Adds bones to Humans
- Allows the Pila, Short Bow, Long Bow, and Recurve Bow to be also be made out of Bone, Thumbone, or Chitin
I believe there is still unused references to a human bone def in my mod code because I originally had planned to have such a product. I later abstracted it out because of how humans react to human butchery products. But I know that most people who play this game don't understand or appreciate why that is.
More importantly, there is an actual technical reason why I did not stuff weapons. It is not so blatantly illogical for buildings but the interaction of stuff with otherwise non-stuffed items, especially things like archaic weapons, is nonsense. Making a sensible interaction for this is a delicate balance matter that is not so easily solved; it is best done with a mod dedicated to that purpose. I strongly disapprove of these patches.
Hmm, makes sense regarding human butchery products and how pawns react to them. Would it be possible to make a "human bone" extension similar to the one you made for thrumbone that gives similar reactions to pawns for products made from it? I would have to dig around in how the "wearing human leather" thoughts are generated, but it should be possible right?
I can see what you mean about potential caveats of making non-stuffed weapons stuffed, but out of curiosity what are some of the problematic interactions? Does making a bow out of bone or chitin alter its combat behavior in unintended ways?
I am of course, willing to take down the patch repository and continue to only use it for my personal games if you would prefer.
